“Something else for the evening?” Dr. Chen turned his head to look at Andrea Jones.
“I can call the client and get this trip cancelled.” Andrea Jones replied in a rush, and when she saw Neal Williams frown, she added, “Your body is more important than your work, so don’t insist.”
“I see that this secretary of yours is quite knowledgeable.” Dr. Chen smiled a little and looked at Neal Williams, “Kinda cares about you too.”
Care?
Andrea Jones was stunned for a moment.
When she noticed Neal Williams’ probing eyes looking towards her, her heart jumped and she turned her face away sheepishly.
Well, it should be perfectly normal for subordinates to care about their bosses, right?
“It’s not necessary.” Drawing back his eyes, Neal Williams went and rejected her offer outright, turning to Dr. Chen and saying, “The client for the evening is very important. You prescribe the herbs, I’ll take them back and decoct them myself.”
“You still know this?” Dr. Chen expressed surprise.
“My mother is at least your senior sister, it’s not hard to learn some of this.” That was all Neal Williams dared to say, but really, where did he know how to decoct anything? There wasn’t even a medicine jar at home.
No matter how Dr. Chen insisted, Neal Williams just wouldn’t let go. Finally, Dr. Chen had to prescribe him a fever reducer and then a small IV.
…
As he lay in the hospital bed, Andrea Jones hugged the computer and worked very hard to catch up on client and copywriting materials. By the time the nurse removed the needle and he woke up, she was still staring at the computer very carefully.
That focused side face looks especially good. But remembering that morning when she rejected herself so decisively, I felt that she was beyond hateful.
Lifting the covers and standing up, he put his jacket on and sank his steps over and closed the computer on her lap.
“You’re awake?” Andrea Jones busied herself with getting up.
“It’s too late to improvise.” Neal Williams buttoned the last button, set his tie right, and tapped his finger on his dial, “Time’s up.”
Andrea Jones hurriedly gathered the information and followed behind .
“Are you better?”
Neal Williams walks ahead and doesn’t answer.
Andrea Jones followed up with, “Has the fever gone down a bit?”
“…” He still didn’t look back.
After running into the wall twice in a row, Andrea Jones muttered unhappily, “If you don’t ask, you don’t ask.”
Would it be too rude to ignore people for no reason like this?
The person in front of her, his footsteps beat as he suddenly turned his face to stare at her, “Asking so many questions, are you concerned about me?”
His eyes were too burning.
That one, as if to penetrate directly through her heart in and see her soul.
She was confused for a moment, nodded subconsciously, and shook her head quickly.
“Yes or no?” Neal Williams pursued patiently, his face expressionless.
She bit her lip, deliberated and said in a thin voice, “Sort of. Caring for the president is also one of the duties of a secretary.”
“Duties?”
What an excellent word! He used to like to remind everyone to pay attention to these two words, but now, he thinks there is no more annoying word than it!
Chewing on these two words, he grunted, and then, with an even colder posture, looked askance at her from above, “You have carried out your duties as a secretary well! However, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings on my part, it is best to avoid such concern in the future! I don’t need it!”
With that said, without waiting for Andrea Jones to say anything else, Neal Williams had turned back around and was striding forward.
Stunned looking at the back, Andrea Jones only felt like a small thorn in her heart, stabbing her heart one by one. It hurts vaguely, but cannot be ignored.
…
Horizon Club.
Because client Ethan Martinez likes to play with Slok, Zoey Baker booked the meeting here.
Both sides were punctual, and Ethan Martinez had just arrived when Neal Williams arrived.
The other party is holding a young woman, the girl is cleanly dressed and still looks like a college student.
Neal Williams ordered drinks and gave the two girls another drink each.
This moment together, but not directly talk about business, two that man with a cue, while drinking and playing ball, directly the two girls hung out to dry.
At first, Andrea Jones would talk to the girl and try to get along. But in a short time, her attention was completely drawn away by Neal Williams.
At the moment, the top was untied and casually tossed aside.
Black shirt will be his upright lines perfectly outlined, the sleeves were rolled up high, no previous seriousness at work, at the moment he looks more elegant and lazy.
When Ethan Martinez opened the club, he just stood lazily with his club.
Even though he was trying hard to look unharmed, Andrea Jones could see right through his weakness. His eyelashes droop slightly, and the hand holding the club is slightly weak.
Slok is already a time-consuming and exhausting activity, and if you meet Ethan Martinez with good skills, it’s even harder to get through.
She was really worried if he would be able to hold out.
Fruity …
In the first few games, Neal Williams’ shots were clean and strong, but the more he played, the less power he had.
Although in the eyes, but this occasion Andrea Jones would not dare to say anything, only quietly called the waiter to ask him to get a cup of hot water over.
…
“Mr. Williams, I have heard about your skill of this rod. You’re not afraid that I’ll learn it, so you’re holding back, are you?” Ethan Martinez laughed as he took his shot and sent the last black ball into the hole.
“Mr. Zuo is one of the best in the industry, so don’t tease me, an amateur.” Neal Williams returned without being condescending, trying to fight the spirit to straighten his back and not forgetting to drag the customer just right, “Since we didn’t have a good time today, why don’t we have another date next time.”
“Mr. Williams,” the waiter saw the stitch and brought over plain water, “Here’s the boiling water you asked for.”
Neal Williams glanced at it and didn’t say anything.
Ethan Martinez put away the rod and leaned on the edge of the table, but looked at Andrea Jones from afar, smiling meaningfully, “Such a good deal, how come Mr. Williams is the only one who has?”
Andrea Jones was immediately embarrassed and subconsciously looked at Neal Williams, whose expression remained unchanged.
The waiter was busy saying, “Excuse me, Mr. Zuo, I will go and prepare right away.”
“No need.” Ethan Martinez smiled and shook his head, waving at the girl he had brought over earlier before adding, “Mr. Williams is sick? No wonder the pole just doesn’t look right.”
Ethan Martinez is also a smart guy, and he could see that Neal Williams was not in the right state.
Neal Williams didn’t hide it, he just replied, “It’s just a little cold, it doesn’t bother me much.”
Take the waiter’s boiling water, take a sip, and put it back in the other hand. The eyes, from the beginning to the end did not look at Andrea Jones.
But Ethan Martinez looked like he was very interested in her, wrapped his arms around his female companion and laughed, “Is Mr. Williams a secretary or a girlfriend in this recruitment? So sweet.”
Andrea Jones was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole and go straight in.
He deliberately avoided it himself before letting the waiter deliver it to him, but now this situation, it looks like she is trying to cover it up.
“It’s a secretarial assistant, and her master taught her well.” Neal Williams looked unchanged and skewered the relationship directly.
Ethan Martinez looked at Andrea Jones and then at the girl in his arms and suddenly suggested, “Since you’re not in the right shape today, why don’t we let the two of them compete?”
Them?
It was then that Neal Williams’ eyes swept over toward Andrea Jones.
Andrea Jones gaped, a little embarrassed, “I … never touched a club.”
The girl in Ethan Martinez’s arms, touched the club and looked at Andrea Jones with a smile, “This is a first for me too.”
“I’ll teach you.” Ethan Martinez’s hand followed over the girl’s, his eyes imploring.
Andrea Jones and Neal Williams saw that they were clearly here to fall in love.
“Come here!” Neal Williams looked over to Andrea Jones and grabbed the club. Since Ethan Martinez was so excited, he naturally didn’t spoil his fun.
Andrea Jones just had to stiffen up and go over, “Mr. Williams.”
Neal Williams tucked the cue into her hand, “Ever play pool?”
Shaking his head, “Never.”
Neal Williams raises an eyebrow and looks to Ethan Martinez. ethan Martinez smiles, “No rush, call the waiter to set up the ball. Ten minutes practice time each.”
After a pause, Ethan Martinez dotingly rubbed the head of the girl in his arms, “If the little thing loses, our partnership is set. My lawyer is right outside and can sign the contract immediately.”
Upon hearing this, Andrea Jones immediately became stressed and looked to Neal Williams for help, murmuring lowly and repeatedly, “What to do? What can I do, what can I learn in 10 minutes?”
“Don’t panic yet.” Neal Williams patted her on the shoulder, “Go over there and I’ll teach you.”
After saying hello to Ethan Martinez, Neal Williams tugged Andrea Jones toward another table.
…
“Is that right?” Holding the cue, Andrea Jones ambled over the table and lifted her eyes to ask him.
Neal Williams leaned over the table, “Amble down a little more. Relax the fingers on your left hand and move your right hand further back.”
Andrea Jones tried to make some adjustments, but the shot just wouldn’t come out right. The club barely touched the mother ball, but it only rolled a little bit and couldn’t even touch the red ball.
She exhaled in frustration, stared at the mother ball with some deflation, and stood up straight.
Suddenly, there was a warmth behind, only to feel a tall figure standing behind. He was very tall, and she was half an inch away, but was able to envelop the entirety of the slender her.
Not waiting for Andrea Jones to turn around, the right hand holding the club was suddenly grasped by a large, hot hand.
The thin waist was lightly patted by another large palm, “Relax and bend over!”
The sudden approach made her stiffen. With the fever, his body temperature was frighteningly high. Even with a not-so-thin jacket, the heat still penetrated and burned her skin.
The hand holding the club trembled and almost lost its grip, but he held it steady.
“Hold on tight!” A plaintive reminder.
Andrea Jones quietly peeked at him, but saw that he was so calm and collected that he didn’t even look at her, just focused on the mother ball.
As if, he did not feel the least bit ambiguous about such proximity.
“What’s the use of looking at me? Look at the ball!” He suddenly spoke in a sultry voice, his face expressionless.
She was embarrassed and her face was as red as a tomato. This guy, do you have eyes on the side?
“What’s it going to take?” Trying very, very hard to be as calm as he was, he bent down and dropped his eyes to the ball.
Neal Williams adjusted her position for her, crouching down to reposition her left hand on the table.
“Come again.”
The frame is right, Neal Williams then satisfied to step back and command.
Even though he left, the scent and heat seemed to be still around to haunt her and disturb her heart.
The movement became more and more rigid. This time, it didn’t even touch the mother ball.
Oh my!
She sighed out sadly, even she wanted to dislike herself a little.
Neal Williams, on the side, was even more frowning and strained.
I think he now regrets that he should not have brought such a foolish self out.
If Zoey Baker was there, with her ability to get things done, she would have gotten this list for him by any means possible.
Sullenly, Neal Williams approached her again.
This time, without a word of redundancy, he simply used both hands and caught her hand directly, his upright body pressed against her back, ambling on the table.
His face, right next to her ear. Seems to be affected by his ultra-high temperature, the snow-white skin was instantly ironed and flushed.
This is exactly the same as when I was a child writing brush characters, being taught by the teacher’s hand.
